The temptation to exploit the Estonian package deposit system is great as one can get 50% or a kroon in Estonia for plastic bottles that cost virtually nothing in Latvia.
Estonian enterprises market their products on the entire Baltic market and the labels on packages bear the same package deposit signs as the labels used on the Estonian market, but Latvia nor Lithuania have by now adopted the package deposit system.
Thus some Latvian companies publicly buy the packages with Estonian package deposit labels in Latvia, paying approximately 22 Estonian cents per one bottle or can while in Estonia the packages can be returned for 50 cents or for 1 kroon, depending on the package.
